Looking at a 99 F350 psd 6 speed, what do u guys think?

It a 99 F350 crew cab daully with 191,000 for 6,500.
It needs clutch work.

Fleet truck means it's either been abused or really well maintained. No way to know unless you go look it over.

I plan to make a trip to it friday if it still around. I called them today and they guy said they have not had it long came from an auction. He said it has a clutch problem. Needs an alinement and has a hard time winding the turbo up. His words were it spools late in the rpm range. Maybe up pipe leakage? I need some imput guy please! Waste of time for the price?

FWIW, mine dont spool until 15-1600-ish, rpm. But with a "clutch" problem, hopefully you can get somewhat of a feel from her, when test driving it.

Seems like a steal. 6spd 7.3's are getting real rare. I don't think it will be there by Friday.

Well by the looks of it with the paint job I'd say it's probably a lariet and being 4x4 that is a rare truck. I'd as we'll be trying to go have a look reallll sooon!

Well when talking to the guy on the phone he said it had a 20/40/20 leather seat up front and a bench in the rear, said it need covers, Not to happy about that.

Also said it needs clutch work. Well If a new clucth is need it I will go with a valair proformace clutch to help with the towing.

There is something wrong with the exhaust too. Not sure what but the turbo works just dosen't spool up right away. Could be there not use to it being a stick or up pipes leaking or cracked. Was planing a 5" exhaust to let people know it coming!

The bed, Well for now I would keep it, and Az is to far of a ride for one so I would have to find something closer. I would like a normal bed but being a welder I do see use for that. Would be a nice set up and could still put a hide a ball in!

It not an az truck that I know of. It is a Pa truck.


I had the guy send me some more pictures of engine and inside.









I will be going to look at it tomorrow! I know some of the things to look for but not up to date with a super duty. So please fill me in.
